How do you feel about the proposed changes? ✈️
Extra flights could be set to take off from London City Airport on Saturday afternoons.
It said the changes would allow it to introduce "potentially lower fares" but some residents have expressed concerns about noise levels.City Airport, which is based at the Royal Docks in Newham, previously tried to extend Saturday flight times to 22:00, but backtracked after a public consultation last year.
Seventy percent of people commenting online about the proposals did not support passenger increases "at all". It also argued that the changes could "incentivise" airlines to invest in quieter and more fuel-efficient aircraft.But campaign group HACAN East, set up to oppose the airport's expansion, argues that while these aircraft are quieter during take-off, there are less noticeable improvements to noise levels during the rest of the flight.
